Summary

Masjid sebagai Tempat Ibadah

Masjid Sunan Sendang Duwur setiap waktu salat ramai dikunjungi kaum muslimin dari berbagai penjuru Desa Sendang Duwur maupun Jawa Timur untuk menyambut panggilan azan dan menunaikan salat fardhu berjamaah lima waktu. Sejak masa Sunan Sendang Duwur hingga sekarang dibunyikan beduk (bedhug) dengan kentongan. Selain menunaikan salat lima waktu, para jemaah Masjid Sendang Duwur juga berzikir bermunajat kepada Allah memohonkan hajat dan ketenangan batin. Berzikir sebagai media komunikasi kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa dengan melafalkan kalimat tauhid la ilaha illallah (Salim Azhar, wawancara [25-31] Mei 2015). Sebelumnya pada masa pra Islam para jamaah mencari ketenangan batin dengan sasmita atau samadi berdonga kepada Sang Mahakuasa. Mereka diajak ke masjid menunaikan salat atau sembahyang kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa ataupun beri’tikaf di dalam masjid dengan penuh kekhusyuan dan keikhlasan hati menghadirkan hati, jiwa,dan pikiran untuk mengharapkan kasih sayang dan keridhaan Allah untuk bermunajat memohon petunjuk ataupun ketenangan jiwa. Sehingga terjalin komunikasi dan Ma’rifatullah dengan Sang Maha Pencipta, hati senantiasa berzikir la ilaha illallah sepanjang hayat (Sutrisno, 2007:197-198)
